Comparison between successful and failed sit-to-stand trials of a patient after traumatic brain injury.
Objective: To compare the peak whole-body center of mass (COM) velocities and joint angular contributions in successful and unsuccessful sit-to-stand (STS) trials in a subject with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Design: Single-case study.
Setting: Motion research laboratory.
Participant: A 24-year-old man who was 3.5 years post-TBI.
Interventions: Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measures: Peak horizontal and vertical velocities of the whole-body COM and peak angular velocities of the ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder joints.
Results: The peak whole-body COM vertical velocity was significantly lower in the unsuccessful …
